I found a book of Steinbeck stories at a yard sale and it included it. In school the only Steinbeck we read was The Pearl. The book also has The Red Pony which I liked. What did y’all think of Mice and Men? I thought it was a good but sad book and I watched the movie (black and white one) afterwards. I didn’t see the foreshadowing until after the fact.

All I got out of it is women will always ruin a man for her own selfishness, even the most innocent of us aren't safe from their evil.
Like, nothing bad in the book would have happened if not for a woman feeling "lonely" and wanting attention, then screaming when the obvious retard she turned to for it panicked. Including them even coming to the farm in the first place, which was a woman screaming rape at Lennie because he was touching her dress leading to them running out of town.
Same here.
